Because the demand or sensitivity of users of space has an important influence on the direction of design concerning indoor greening, this study examined the customers' preferences and trends for use in this field. By analyzing the results, types of space for indoor greening that can be utilized as indoor greening design such as vegetation selection, space positioning, design types, etc. were derived. The research and analysis was set for living space, business space, commercial space and public space. For each space, there were vegetations in over 50% of the space, and in all the spaces, the majority of people were of the positive opinion. As the desired space for the introduction of indoor greening, high levels of preference were seen in the following areas: 'veranda' and 'living room' for the residential space; 'main work space' and 'resting space' for the office space; and 'rest area,' 'entrance area' and 'lobby area' for the public space and commercial space. The preference of each of the spaces displayed slightly different trends in accordance with the characteristics of space and users. If indoor greening space were to be designed for these spaces according to the types, which are derived from the preference levels examined in this study, it is deemed that the satisfaction levels of users of the spaces could be increased.

As the number of broadcasting channels and programs increases rapidly, the importance of personalized service has been emphasized. In this paper, we propose a practical framework of metadata broadcasting to provide personalized service according to user preferences and various terminal/network conditions. First, we present an overall system architecture of a metadata broadcasting system and then propose several core technologies (particularly in the parts of metadata authoring, metadata encoding, and metadata-based personalized content consumption). For interoperability, the proposed solution is designed to be compliant with the relevant standards of the TV-Anytime Forum, MPEG-7 Systems, and MPEG-2 Systems. Considering a home network environment, we also propose a metadata-based content adaptation scheme. Each component technology has been implemented individually, integrated into an end-to-end prototype broadcasting system, and successfully tested with a set of personalized service scenarios that are also developed in this study.

The adaptation of video according to the heterogeneous and dynamic resource constraints on networks and devices, as well as on user preferences, is a promising approach for universal access and consumption of video content. For optimal adaptation that satisfies the constraints while maximizing the utility that results from the adapted video, it is necessary to devise a systematic way of selecting an appropriate adaptation operation among multiple feasible choices. This paper presents a general conceptual framework that allows the formulation of various adaptations as constrained optimization problems by modeling the relations among feasible adaptation operations, constraints, and utilities. In particular, we present the feasibility of the framework by applying it to a use case of rate adaptation of MPEG-4 video with an explicit modeling of adaptation employing a combination of frame dropping and discrete cosine transform coefficient dropping, constraint, utility, and their mapping relations. Furthermore, we provide a description tool that describes the adaptation-constraint-utility relations as a functional form referred to as a utility function, which has been accepted as a part of the terminal and network quality of service tool in MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA).

In this paper, we conceive a context-aware recommendations system for water distribution in future smart water grids, with taking the end users' profiles, water types, network conditions into account. A spectral clustering approach is developed to cluster end users into different communities, based on the end users' common interests in water resources. A back-propagation (BP) neural network is designed to obtain the rating list of the end users' preferences on water resources and the water resource with the highest prediction rating is recommended to the end users. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves the improved accuracy of recommendation within 2.5% errors notably together with a better user experience in contrast to traditional recommendations approaches.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the stereotype of position and direction that users expect door lock control devices in different orientations, and to collect information regarding preferred door lock design and orientations. Six hundred subjects aged from lOs to 60s were surveyed under the operating conditions of three different door locks(cylindrical, circular-type, and lever-type auxiliary locks) mounted on the miniature door in two different orientations(right and left side). The door locks presented to the subjects were the most widely used door locks in our living environment. The results indicated that if the door locks were seen from the inside, 59~67% of the subjects expected 'vertical' position locking depending on the door lock control types, cylinder or auxiliary lock. When the door locks were seen from the outside, the locking direction of door lock control was not consistent either 'clockwise' or 'counterclockwise'. It was rather dependent on the orientation of the door lock positions. As a concluding remark, it is better to design and install door lock control devices in the way that users expect them to work.

1990년대 후반부터 다양한 디지털 통신망을 이용하여 멀티미디어 컨텐츠 서비스가 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 전달 및 이용을 위한 기반 구조들의 독자적 발전 및 다양한 통합 관리 시스템 때문에 멀티미디어 컨텐츠 표현 방식의 호환성, 네트워크 방식과 단말기 등의 잠재적인 문제점이 발생한다. 이를 위해서 현재 존재하는 기술 및 기반 구조들 사이의 연동을 통한 큰 멀티미디어 프레임워크인 MPEG-21이 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 표준화 작업이 진행 중인 MPEG-21을 기반으로 하는 웹 (Web) 기반 테스트베드를 제안한다. 기본적으로 테스트베드는 서버(server), 클라이언트(client), DIA(Digital Item Adaptation)의 세 모듈로 구성된다. 서버의 역할은 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 Digital Item(DI)의 형태로 생성하고, 클라이언트가 DI를 요구할 경우 DIA 모듈을 통해서 변환된 DI를 클라이언트에게 제공한다. DIA 모듈은 서버에서 동작되며 클라이언트로부터 요청된 DI를 분석하고 클라이언트로부터 전송된 환경 정보를 이용하여 클라이언트 환경에 적합하게 변환된 (adapted) DI를 생성하는 것이 주 기능이다. 클라이언트는 서버에 저장되어 있는 DI를 선택하고 사용자 선호도(user preferences), 터미널 능력(terminal capabilities) 등의 필요한 정보를 서버로 전송한다. 테스트베드에서는 스포츠 경기의 동영상, 정지 영상, 경기 내용, 역사를 기록한 파일 등의 DI를 이용한다. 표현 언어는 XML이며, HTTP 기반의 웹 환경에서 구동되도록 설계된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improved Special Instruction Classrooms(SIC) in terms of architectural planning based on the analysis of design characteristics and problems. For this study, SICs in 20 elementary schools located in Daegu were selected and investigated. The results of investigation showed that: first, the vertical separation type is mostly preferred for the layout of SICs; second, the top floor is preferred for the location of SICs. We suggest that first, each SIC should be located with consideration of the characteristics of subjects(); second, the degree of adjacency-room preference for each room should be taken into consideration for the zoning of the SICs(, ); finally, a direction for improvement for suitable architectural design of each SICs should be based on the feasibility of learning space().

This paper presents and analyzes the performance of a weighted-window based cache replacement policy for the efficient media caching in streaming media cache servers. The proposed policy makes, for each cached object, use of the reference count, reference time, amount of media delivered to clients and, in particular, the periodic patterns of user requests. Also, by giving weights to the recently referenced media contents, the replacement policy adequately and swiftly reflects the ever-changing characteristics of users preferences. The simulation studies show that the performance of the proposed policy has improved over the conventional policies such as LRU, LFU and SEG - in terms of hit ratio, byte hit ratio, delayed start and cache input.
